Abstract

A method for configuring an entertainment network begins by polling, by a master component of the entertainment network, slave components via a communication channel to identify active slave components of the entertainment network. The method continues by providing, by each of the active slave components, a profile response to the master component via the communication channel in response to the polling. The method continues by determining, by the master component, bandwidth requirements and configuration options of the entertainment network based on the profile responses of the active slave components and a profile of the master component. The method continues by, based on the bandwidth requirement and configuration options of the entertainment network, establishing, by the component, at lease one of: a virtual connection between the master component and at lease one of the active slave components and a virtual connection between a first one of the slave components and a second one of the active slave components.
